Last year, Idolz Toys released their first Tiki God inspired figure – Gruntor. This is the initial design (camouflage style) in their line of stackable, wearable and customizable Idolz.

The Azeroth Flight Master's Association is pleased to announce that two of the world's most popular and luxurious modes of transportation just got a little plusher.

Straight from the uber-popular video game - World of Warcraft - to your collection come the Wind Rider Cub and Gryphon Hatchling. Blizzard Entertainment has released this pair of plush creatures as a part of a new line of cuddly, plush WoW creatures exclusive to their online shop.

The Facts

Wind Rider Cub and Gryphon Hatchling PetsSeries: World of WarcraftManufacturer: BlizzardMaterial: PlushDimensions: about 8.5" tallAccessories: Loot code for a matching in-game non-combat pet, which once activated, applies to all present and future characters on a single World of Warcraft license; Horde or Alliance symbol embroidered shield on neckEdition Size: Limited Edition

Tag

Both pets come packaged within a black drawstring bag. The characters name and World of Warcraft logo is on one side, while the alliance symbol is on the reverse.

Each plush toy comes with a tag that features an illustrated version of the character as well as a code that gets you a matching account-bound non-combat companion to travel alongside you in the game. Because these creatures are too young to care about Horde and Alliance politics, they'll tag along with you no matter what faction you're on.
